The Co-op Barn offers you the perfect bolt hole for your holiday getaway. A unique blend of traditional style with all the home comforts for a cozy break. Special attention to detail by us means you don’t have to worry! We want you to have a great time here so have made an extra special effort to make everything perfect for you.
The Barn cottage garden has decking and seating positioned to enjoy the views across the valley and up into the hills and dales beyond. There is also a picnic table and chairs for alfresco dining surrounded by flower boarders, stone walls and fencing making the garden a safe place for dogs and children. We have also attached 2 x D rings for you to lock up your bikes at night down by the back door. So, whether it is sitting out in the early morning with a cup of coffee watching the sun rise across the valley or watching the sun go down after a lovely day out in the fells whatever the reason we hope you love it as much as we do.
Come on in and take a look…

The Barn lies at the west end of the village of Brassington nestled in a small group of cottages possibly a hamlet of its own many years ago. Brassington was a limestone mining village hence the numerous quaint small cottages and barns scattered around the narrow lanes and byways across the village. Enjoy walking around the lanes and looking at the stone walls and cottage gardens mostly leading down to the 17th century Pub. The whole village was built on a south facing slope giving it sunshine the whole day through and protecting it from northerly weather up and over the hill behind it. There are lovely walks and bike trails up and over the surrounding hills just waiting to be explored

Sarah's place is so beautiful and so nicely decorated! The area is really nice and quiet and short drive from other lovely villages and towns. There's also lots to see in the surrounding area, and lovely walks to go on. Planning on returning in the the future!

My place is close to public transport but a car would be advisable. You’ll love my place because of exposed beams and stonework, the homely cosiness, the views, and the rural location of a working Organic Beef and Sheep Farm. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

In the heart of the beautiful Derbyshire Dales and on the edge of the Peak District, Owslow Farm is a working organic beef and lamb farm and the cottage offers a combination of traditional features and modern accommodation. The property is approximately 400 years old and stands in its three hundred and sixty acres overlooking Carsington Reservoir. It is very welcoming and boasts exposed stone and beams, and fabulous countryside views.
Everything will be clean, warm and welcoming for your arrival including linen and towels, and cosy beds (single beds have memory foam mattress toppers for more comfort and luxury).
We hope that your stay at Owslow Cottage will be as enjoyable as possible.

The nearest village of Carsington is quiet and lies between the market towns of Wirksworth and Ashbourne in the Derbyshire Peak District area. Matlock and Belper are also other towns which are easily accessible by car or bus.Dovedale in the Peak District National Park is ideal for walking and is 15 minutes drive away. For anyone wishing to hire bikes the Tissington Trail is just up the road and provides traffic free road all the way to the High Peak Trail in the Buxton area. The Manifold valley can be accessed in Dovedale. Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Sudbury Hall, and Kedleston Hall are all only 30 minutes away. Alton Towers and the potteries are 30/40 minutes away making this a very central position for all these Derbyshire and Staffordshire attractions and many more as well.

My place is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Family activities are close at hand. You’ll love my place because of its homely feel (lots of guests have commented that they feel at home in Chapel House), its fabulous aspect and its magical character. My place is perfect for couples and families. Its open-plan design cultivates holiday togetherness. Relaxation comes easily here. My village has two lovely pubs. The Gate was awarded 'Most Unspoilt Pub in England 2017' by The Good Pub Guide.

I have a split staircase which bypasses a king's post truss (a big lovely old beam).

The Gate, our early 17th Century pub has just been voted 'Most Unspoilt Pub in England 2017' by The Good Pub Guide. It is two minutes walk away from ther house down the jitty next to the car park. Please note, the walk back up is more than twice as hard.

Outstanding location. Beautiful converted old chapel with open plan. Ideal for families. Very quiet. Perched at the top of a lovely hillside village with back windows facing up towards grazing sheep and a footpath, and front windows facing over the valley. Good, clean decor and well-finished throughout. Nothing tatty about this cottage. Very easy and clear communication. Everything worked. Mostly pretty hot and sunny so no need for heating, but wood-burner looked really promising for colder visits. Two great local pubs (100 yards away) for dinners. Ideal springboard for walks, but also great sailing around the corner, plenty of boulders to climb and close to places like Chatsworth. We drove easily to walks in both the Southern White Peak region (a few minutes drive away) and the more Northern Dark Peak around Kinder Scout.

This place is marvellous. Perfect as a base for our family of four to get out to the cycling trails. The kitchen is very well thought out and all appliances work, brilliantly. The setting is just lovely and locals very friendly. We didn't meet our host, but all comms were really nicely written and we received prompt answers. The emailed 'Welcome Pack' was very well thought out and the local pub, Ye Olde Gate Inn is definitely worth a visit. The other local pub, The Miners is under new management and was still in the process of setting up the kitchen staff so sadly not able to do food this week and hence we didn't visit . The owner of The Miners was delightful when we spoke to her and I am sure she will make a success of her tenure there. Local town Ashbourne has two supermarkets next to each other which covers pretty much everything one might need. The Chapel House should not be missed, the village is charming, and we had a very contented stay due to having such a good base.

Chapel house is right on the moors. So if you want to stay somewhere which is in a beautiful setting, in a peaceful area this is somewhere I'd recommend. The house is clean, tidy and a fabulous building. David was also a great host and gave us some great tips beforehand.

Rebecca2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

A lovely converted chapel in a pretty village. It was well appointed and cosy. Good communication with David the owner. Would be happy to return!

Brassington is a pretty little village in Derbyshire. It is centrally located to many different places worth visiting ranging from National Trust country houses to outdoors activities. David arranged for firewood delivery and suggested the correct amount. We enjoyed our stay very much. I would definitely go back in the future.

This spacious glamping pod sleeps 2 in a comfortable king sized sofa bed with cotton linen. There is a well equipped kitchenette, including hob, microwave, sink, & fridge with freezer space, and pots and pans for cooking. Luxury ensuite shower with heated towel rail, toilet and wash basin. The cosy pod is fully heated and the view from your pillow through the circular double doors is amazing - simply relax back and watch the wildlife. There are picnic tables and a firepit with logs provided.

Hoe Grange is in the Derbyshire Peak District with dark skies for star gazing and stunning daytime views. Walks from the door up to The High Peak Trail, and just lots of peace and quiet.

Set on the edge of the Peak District National Park in the scenic Derbyshire Dales. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty and we look forward to sharing our special place. Ideal for walking, cycling, geocaching, water sports and climbing or simply sit back on the decking and watch the world go by.
There is stabling and grazing so guests can bring their own horse on holiday.

Swallow pod completely exceeded our expectations - there is literally everything you'll need for a comfortable stay, right down to the heated bathroom mirror and handmade bath toiletries. There's a hot tub which we didn't use due to having a small baby with us but it sounded fabulous. This was our first trip away with our baby and this lovely comfortable pod made it so easy. There are horses in the field opposite wandering past and chickens come visiting - a little different from our usual suburban scenery! Would recommend to anyone with infants and/or dogs - our Airedale terrier had a great time too.

Well where to (URL HIDDEN) is a perfect example of a chocolate box Derbyshire Dales village, often referred to as the hidden gem of the peak district. It has a great central location, lots of small towns within 4-8 miles, Waitrose and Marks and Spencers and lots of individual traders, Walks of all lengths from the door or a short car journey away. Access to cycle trails both short and long, also on the door step .... some of the most challenging hills in the Dales. Great eateries, fabulous landscapes for photographers , painters etc. We have a wonderful arts festival in the local town in September Wirksworth Arts Festival, Highland Games in Ashbourne the famous Chatsworth Show. We have a large reservoir where people can go canoeing, wind surfing and sailing only 5 minutes drive a way. Great location writing this for the the listing all we have beginning to realise how lucky we are! you forget what is on your doorstep. Brassington is a wonderful location to explore the idyllic British countryside.

It was a privilege to be Chrissie & Garrie's first Airbnb guests: they were really understanding about our late evening arrival, very welcoming when we did make it, and it was a pleasure to chat to them over the wood burning stove before turning in for the night. The bed was comfortable, blinds keeping out the midsummer daylight and allowing us a good night's sleep, and the furnishings generally were impeccable and well appointed in a traditional Derbyshire stone building with a relaxing garden out front. Would not hesitate to recommend them as hosts, and would love to stay again when in the area.

Rich2015-07-08T00:00:00Z

Garrie & Chrissie were great hosts & very welcoming. Since they're vegetarians & they don't eat out a lot, they had asked others for recommendations on places to eat which was very nice of them. The village has a lot of character and is quite small with only 2 pubs and no shops, but that was all we needed. We had some nice chats during our brief stay. Thanks Garrie & Chrissie!

Dave2015-07-30T00:00:00Z

Brassington is a lovely village and we had great (but brief) time there with Garrie, Chrissy and Sprite. We loved the animated conversations we had G&C. Coming from London we had enjoyed the absolute peace and quiet of good nights rest.

The area and views were beautiful, Steve welcomed us extremely well, made himself available but did was inobtrusive which is appreciated. Steve was very flexible about check in and check out times, which was great. The building was lovely, and the standard of furnishing was good, and very spacious. However, we felt the cleanliness could have been better. The gas grill seemed to be faulty (cut out after approx 5 minutes and we had to continuously manually control the grill to finish our meal)

David2017-06-24T00:00:00Z

We had a bit of trouble finding the house but when we finally did--oh boy! Is it beautiful! Perfectly picturesque, and you wouldn't know it from the street. Everything was in place as explained and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. Only disappointment was there was no washer and water pressure was disappointingly low (which I think is based on the electric shower). This is the perfect escape for a family or a couple, but plan to have a vehicle available at all times. It was the perfect location for our first visit to the area :)

Bibi2016-04-27T00:00:00Z

Very good instructions were given to get to Lakeview. A clean, peaceful house in a lovely area.

9 of us stayed in Pamelas beautiful cottage, 6 adults and 3 children. The location was fantastic and the views are beautiful! There is plenty of things to do nearby. We went to Cromwell, Gullivers kingdom and to carsington waters. We took things for the children to do whilst we were there but we really didn't need to as the cottage had lots of games and toys for the children to play with and the garden is huge! The kids loved running up and down the hills, the swing and the zip wire whilst us adults were able to sit on the table and chairs with a glass of wine whilst enjoying the views of the beautiful lake. The cottage was spacious and very cosy!

Kiran2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

fantastic location and house. brilliant for kids and adults and would recommend. Pamela very helpful.

If you're fortunate enough to book this cottage, you won't be disappointed. It's a beautiful cottage with plenty of space, as well as views over Carsington water that you'll never get bored of. The kitchen had everything we needed as well as being generous in size. The bedrooms were all very big with lovely, comfortable beds. The master also had a great day bed for our daughter. In the lounge we spent every night with the log burner, with Pamela being brilliant in providing all wood for us. Wifi was great for the limited time we needed it! The location is very private and quiet, the gardens were beautiful with a trampoline and tree house that kept my eldest daughter very happy. It is a comfortable and easy drive to both Matlock Bath and Matlock. We also visited Chatsworth House which I highly recommend. Other than that, it is in one of the most beautiful parts of the country with plenty to do and walks at your disposal. Perfect for families with toddlers and babies, plenty of toys/cots/bedding etc. Which made things a lot easier or us. Pamela was excellent in providing us with anything we needed. Would also love to return with friends and family.

We stayed at this cottage for three nights. Family of four two kids two and seven. It looks better than on the pictures. Fantastic place. Spotless. Loved the log burner. Very comfy beds. My daughter said the bed was more comfy than at home lol so just bought new mattress for her. Lake view is fantastic same as on the picture. Very quiet. Neighbours are really quiet we met two rabbits and mrs squirrel lol. Sainsbury's not too far away. Cable cars 20 minutes by car. Visited three caverns kids loved it. Originally wanted to stay at Alton Towers but reviews didn't look promising. So now we are delighted with the choice. Communication with Pamela was great within an hour after booking she phoned me and we had chat about all bits and pieces regarding our stay. Thanks again Pamela. Alex and family.

Lee and Mike welcomed us into their lovely modern and clean home with the offer of a cup of tea and a beer which were gratefully accepted after a long journey. Our room had everything we needed including a very comfortable double bed and plenty of sockets. Lee showed us the facilities which included a fully-fitted, stylish kitchen with all mod cons and a bathroom with on-demand hot water and a great shower. Lee and Mike are lovely people that make you feel welcome straight away and the feeling that nothing is too much trouble. They are interesting and interested in people and are easy conversationalists. Local walks and pubs are recommended and this is a great place if you like small-holdings and animals as Mike comes from a farming family. Loved our visit and recommend their place very highly to anyone. Thanks Lee and Mike - really enjoyed ourselves!

A wonderful place to stay, with equally as wonderful hosts! Absolutely everything about this home was perfect - immaculately clean, extremely comfortable, lovely furnishings and art, breath taking views and a delicious breakfast! I couldn't believe how quiet the place was, which is just what you need after a busy day! The shower is also brilliant - really powerful and easy to use! Lee and Mike (and their affectionate cat, Joey) couldn't have made the stay any nicer. They are lovely people, sincere and genuine, they put me at ease and made me so welcome! I highly recommend staying here! And, would definitely love to return! 100%!

"Warm, comfortable & well equipped. Beautiful cottage in a great location.” Whether a couple or small group, this charming cottage makes a perfect base for exploring the Peak District. A mile from Carsington Water. Wifi, garden, off-road parking.

I was extremely impressed with Alison's communication and organisation, she made it extremely easy to organise our weekend away in the Peaks for my friend's birthday. The cottage itself is beautiful - we didn't want to leave and I am sure that we will be back again! The property was perfectly located for our trips out and only a few minutes from the stunning Carsington Water! Alison, thanks again for your hospitality!

Charlie2016-04-17T00:00:00Z

Alison was super informative, super friendly and accommodating, the cottage was lovely, and the whole atmosphere was one of hospitality and chill. Perfect host, basically.

Sam2016-05-29T00:00:00Z

Perfect bank holiday weekend here, inc. a 60mi dawn ride around the Peaks and a hike around Dovedale (sourced from a guide in the cottage). Hosts could not have been more hospitable and welcoming and provided masses of helpful info. Location was beautiful, just 5 min's from Carsington Water. Entire cottage was immaculately clean throughout, not even a greasy baking try in the back of the cupboard! Bed comfy, bath nice. We've experienced good and bad overall experiences on Airbnb and this is one of the best.

Rich2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated how flexible and helpful Alison and Peter were by providing toys, a travel cot and a high chair for our little munchkin. We loved the beautiful cosy little cottage and would highly recommend.

Lovely cottage just outside of Wirksworth. We stayed for two nights over Christmas and Alison and her husband were very welcoming. The kitchen was well stocked with enough equipment to cook our Christmas lunch and plenty of wood for the woodburner (had it been proper winter weather and not strangely mild for December!). It was just the relaxing, quiet Christmas that we wanted so thank you!!

What a fantastic staying! Was there for a few friends for my birthday and the hosts were really helpful and welcoming. The cottage is amazing and the view is a dream! Easy access to some wonderful walks in the reservoire and nice BBQ area!

Chiara2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Had the most amazing two days staying in Dovedale cottage. My sister and I took our four boys and didn't want to go home! There is so much to do and plenty of room. The boys spend most of the time in the play room playing table tennis or tennis on the fantastic court and the climbing frame was a bit hit with the little one. Buddy the black Labrador joined us for our BBQ and Tim was a fantastic host! The whole place had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and we felt completely at ease and at home! The cottage was well equipped with lovely comfy beds and bedding and was spotlessly clean. The cottage has access to Carsington water and is about a 3 mile walk to the visitors centre! ( The boys slept well after that!) Cannot rate this beautiful venue highly enough, can't wait to return and next time we might even take the husbands!!

It is also perfectly located for all the cycle trails the High Peak trail is a must. And if you have children Alton Towers is only half an hour away.

Parwich is a beautiful White Peak village situated in the Peak District National Park. The houses are predominantly built of limestone, a brook runs through the village creating two ponds one of which was historically the sheep wash. The other pond is at the gate to Nethergreen Farm and is visited by frogs, dragonflies, moorhens, ducks, herons and occasionally a kingfisher. The swallows which nest in the buildings at Nethergreen Farm can be seen swooping low on the pond catching their food.
Although no longer a farm, there is a brood of free range hens which includes two cockerels. Sheep graze in the field behind the house and Archie the cat considers it his duty to welcome all to Nethergreen Farm.
From the skylight windows in your room you have an excellent view of Parwich Hill. Should you be visiting during our Wakes week, you could even participate in the annual hill race!

Parwich is a friendly village and has a pub which serves food and a Legion which welcomes visitors. It is ideally placed for visiting many of the attractions in the Peak District including Carsington Water, Chatsworth, Dovedale and several market towns. The Peak District is renowned for it's scenery with walking and cycling much favoured pastimes. Parwich is situated on the Limestone Way.

We were Fiona's first visitors from airbnb and I can safely say its a wonderful place to stay! Fiona's house is a beautiful old farmhouse that has been refurbished to a high standard. It's situated at the edge of a picturesque Peak District village and Fiona was full of recommendations for local places to see and restaurants to visit. The room itself was bright, clean and comfortable with a great bed and excellent bathroom. Tea and coffee making facilities with toast and fruit were a very nice touch. We also loved the chickens and had an excellent welcome from Archie, the slightly geriatric but very friendly cat. Thanks for having us, we would gladly stay again and best of luck with your airbnb adventures! Abby and Dave

We had a very enjoyable stay at Fiona's lovely house. Very comfortable bed, large en-suite with good shower, sunny seating area in the room too and delicious jam on toast for breakfast. In addition, Fiona was a very helpful and friendly host and gave us lots of helpful tips for things to do nearby.

We had an amazing time at this place. We were there for a 2 day get away, and the location is absolutely stunning. The room is huge, more like a flat, and its lovely, cosy and very clean, Fiona is a great host and her friendliness is only surpassed by her cat Archie. This is definitely a place for animals lovers, as hens, cockrels and cat run freely around. And it's perfect for any outdoor activity. We cramped in hiking, biking and canoeing in our short time there. And Fiona was very helpful with maps and advice. The village is a little hidden gem, with lots of character and a very friendly pub with good and cheap food. We are definitely coming back, thanks Fiona for making this a great stay

Fiona's place has no TV. No wi-fi but is perfect for a restful evening after a busy day exploring. She provided bread. Milk butter and jam and was really lovely .

Beautiful location, fabulous house for a family stay, we'll be back one day!

A great place to stay in that's out in the countryside with some beautiful views. It's lovely and spacious inside with a fantastic hot tub outside to make the most of those views whilst relaxing with family & friends. It has a good little play area, which my little one loved going on. It's only about 10 mins drive from the nearest town Ashbourne and the village has a wonderful little pub that serves some delicious food. All in all a fantastic place to stay in.

Excellent location, close to Alton Towers. Would definitely recommend this property!

Beautiful accommodation and location. We had everything we needed.

Ruth2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

We stayed at The Barn for one night with a group of 7 friends. From the moment we arrived we were impressed with the property and its facilities. After cooking in the spacious kitchen we spent the night relaxing in our private hot tub - Overall a very enjoyable experience. would definitely stay again.

This cute barn is in the small village of Middleton, near Wirksworth. It has been carefully restored to provide a double bedroom on ground floor level with an ensuite toilet/shower room and upstairs is a double height beamed living room/kitchen.

The barn is an eighteenth century listed building adjacent but separate from our house. It has its own entrance.
The living room is upstairs to take advantage of the wonderful views of the Derbyshire countryside.
The downstairs bedroom with ensuite facilities is approached from a walled courtyard.
There is a patio seating area behind the building.

The Peak District National Park starts almost on our doorstep.
If you don't want to drive, there are walks available starting from our village. Cycle hire is available at Middleton Top on the High Peak Trail, just outside the village. The Trail is good for walking too and links to the National Stone Centre with cafe facilities, Black Rock ( more walks) and the Cromford Canal.
Cromford Village has pubs, restaurants and Arkright's Mill, with shops, cafe and visitor interpretation centre.
Two miles away is Carsington Water with cycling, walking and sailing on offer.
Wirksworth, our local market town has eating and shopping facilities. It is an artists centre with an annual arts festival in September.
The moorlands and dales of the Peak District are easily accessible.
Chatsworth and Haddon Hall are a short drive away.
The Derwent Valley World Heritage site with pleasant river and canalside walks and its industrial archaeology is on hand.

A lovely part of the Dales. Good little place and good value. Comfortable living room and bed. Good shower. Things to take note. Outside stairs with no hand rail so take care especially in the dark and when wet. House did have a little damp feel and I guess has suffered in the past with this. No instructions for using the hob etc.

Thank you so much for having us Andrew and Lynne! Our stay was an absolute pleasure (despite a bit of rain)! Lovely touches from the hosts made us feel right at home, whilst still leaving us totally to our own devices and privacy. Could not recommend highly enough for a secluded, short getaway near the Peaks, Carsington Water, Bakewell and Matlock!

Rob2017-08-09T00:00:00Z

Lovely accommodation and friendly hosts. Great value for money and handy for getting around Derbyshire. Would definitely recommend!

Kirstyn2017-08-23T00:00:00Z

Lovely little cottage, perfect for exploring the Peak District, most places were around a 30 min drive. We enjoyed hiring bikes and cycled the Monsal trail, lovely walk at Froggat Edge, and a day out at Chatsworth. Cottage is lovely, well equipped little kitchen and comfy sofas. Bedroom is downstairs via an outside set of stone steps, was fine but not for anyone with mobility issues or bit tricky if the weather was very bad. The bedroom had a nice ensuite bathroom. It is adjacent to a fairly busy road, so some traffic noise but it didn't really disturb us. The parking was occasionally slightly tricky at times as there is limited space but we always managed. Overall a lovely stay, we particularly enjoyed our breakfasts on the sunny terrace with lovely views! Thank you Andrew and Lynne.

Sarah2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

Thanks for a lovely weekend. Andrew and lynn were welcoming the their barn was lovely, cozy and warm. Quick email responded and helpful advice.

elsie2014-11-16T00:00:00Z

This is exactly as pictured and described. We could park right outside, and the house is clean, welcoming and has everything to make for a comfortable weekend away or short break. The area is absolutely beautiful. Our check in was very late in the evening and pushed back by traffic, but Andrew and Lynne were completely understanding and flexible. They were very friendly, easy to contact and provided plenty of information about the house. The converted barn is close to their own house so help is to hand if needed, but there's enough space that we felt independent. Would definitely stay there again.

Claire2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful two night stay in this barn conversion in Middleton. Andrew and Lynne were very welcoming and they showed us around/made sure we felt comfortable. The whole barn is small and cosy with a lovely, clean sitting room/kitchen upstairs (no space for a dining room table) and a bedroom and bathroom downstairs. Even though we stayed when it was snowing, the rooms were warm with the heaters. There are lots of good walks and routes nearby. For the very keen walkers, it's possible to walk 10 mile round routes to Matlock (nice pubs and shops) and Carsington Water. Middleton Top is right at the bottom of the road. If you want to use a car, there would be a wealth of places you could visit - Andrew and Lynne would be able to advise you on what's around! We would thoroughly recommend this as a cosy little place to stay if you are looking for a base for your time in the Peaks.

Sarah2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

Gorgeous Barn conversion, which is a short drive to many Derbyshire attractions. Lovely views from the living area upstairs, which was homely and well furnished. Despite only 90 minutes warning Andrew and Lynn were on hand to check us in and responded quickly to our queries. We would have stayed longer but reluctantly had to get home. Hope to return one day when the sun shines a bit more to truly enjoy the fantastic Derby Dales!
